Domestic 5/16" 7x19 Galvanized Aircraft Cable

This 5/16" galvanized aircraft cable features a flexible 7x19 construction with a hot-dip drawn galvanized finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance and dependable performance. Designed for smooth bending and repeated movement, it is an excellent choice for cable railing systems, winches, pulleys, control cables, and a wide variety of general-purpose utility applications.

Note: Despite the name, aircraft cable is not intended for aircraft use. Consult a qualified rigging professional before using this cable in critical overhead lifting applications.

Flexible Galvanized Cable for Railings, Winches & Utility Applications

The 7x19 construction combines 19 individual wires within each of seven strands to create one of the most flexible aircraft cable configurations available. This design offers excellent bendability and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for applications involving pulleys, sheaves, or repeated movement.

The hot-dip drawn galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the cable's full breaking strength. Unlike standard galvanizing processes that can reduce cable strength, the drawn galvanization process preserves tensile capacity while improving ductility and resistance to rust, making it well suited for outdoor and moisture-prone environments.

7x19 Aircraft Cable Configuration

This aircraft cable is manufactured from IPS (Improved Plow Steel), providing dependable strength for general-purpose cable applications. The 7x19 construction consists of seven strands, each containing approximately 19 individual wires, delivering an excellent balance of flexibility, durability, and fatigue resistance.

Aircraft cable is available in diameters up to 3/8", while traditional wire rope is commonly available in much larger diameters for heavy-duty lifting and rigging applications.

Wire Rope by the Foot Ordering FAQ

Will my wire rope arrive as one continuous length?
Yes. The quantity you order will be supplied as one continuous, uncut length of wire rope. For example, if you order a quantity of 1,000, you will receive a single 1,000-foot length.

Can I order multiple separate lengths?
Yes. To receive multiple lengths, add each length to your cart as a separate line item. For example, if you need two 1,500-foot lengths, enter a quantity of 1,500 and add it to your cart twice. Each line item will be cut and supplied as a separate length.

Can I order lengths shorter than the minimum order quantity if the combined total exceeds the minimum?
Yes. If your combined order will exceed the minimum quantity requirement but you need shorter individual lengths, please call our team to place your order. One of our product experts will be happy to assist.
